[SOLVED] Out of Office in 5.0.2

[kapshure]

so that feature only works from the client side in 5.0.3 and above. Okay.

but this last message you sent w/ these CLI parameters:

zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeReplyEnabled
zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeReply
zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeFromDate
zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeUntilDate
zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeCacheDuration
zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeDirectAddress


what do I do w/ these? run these from zimbra server?

I know that this feature is enabled on the admin console side of things.. just trying to verify that I can get it for user side

[mmorse]

You really should upgrade as the feature wasn't 'verified' till 5.0.3 but:

su - zimbra
zmprov ma user@domain.com zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeReplyEnabled TRUE
zmprov ma user@domain.com zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeReply I'm currently out of the office - if it's urgent please contact peer@domain.com
zmprov ma user@domain.com zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeFromDate 20080418000000Z
zmprov ma user@domain.com zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeUntilDate 20080419000000Z

Default for the CacheDuration is 7 days - already set on the COS:
zmprov gc COSname| grep zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeCacheDuration
zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeCacheDuration: 7d

Thus duplicate away messages will not be sent to the same user in the given interval of 7 days. On day 8, if they send that account an email, they would again get back one notification, then no notifications for another day.

Setting to 0 would send an out-of-office notification in response to every email received (I'd avoid that). Plus, if you have user A with an away message up, user B sends an email, and immediately puts up their away message (with the attribute set to 0) you could technically get a loop.
I prefer 3d or every week 5/7d depending upon how long the user is gone. ie: If they're typically gone a month, then every week etc.

Set by:
zmprov mc COSName zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeCacheDuration 3d
or
zmprov ma user@domain.com zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeCacheDuration 3d

zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeDirectAddress was added in Bug 9196 - Ability to send out of office notifications for mail forwarded into Zimbra account
zmprov ma user@domain.com zimbraPrefOutOfOfficeDirectAddress yourOtherAddressForwardedToZimbra@otherDomain.com
